What does the honey have to graft?

Sheep's horn honey is a kind of crisp and sweet fruit. The fruit is long cone-shaped, slender as sheep's horn, early and middle ripening varieties, strong plant growth, seed vines bear melon. So, what is the grafting of sheep horn honey?

First, what is the grafting of sheep horn honey?

Sheep horn honey is generally grafted with rootstock seedlings such as pumpkin, gourd, watermelon and so on. Generally, the grafting method is used, and the incision angle should be paid attention to. If the angle is too small, the incision docking area is small, it will make the grafting clip not firm; the angle is too large, the rootstock incision is too long, it is easy to be infected with diseases. In addition, the management of temperature, humidity and light should be strengthened after grafting.

2. Planting techniques of sheep horn honey

1. Site selection and seed selection

Planting sheep horn honey should be planted on thick, loose, fertile and permeable soil as far as possible, proper soil preparation and adequate base fertilizer should be applied to improve soil fertility. Then the variety should be selected, and the variety should be selected from the regular area to ensure the seed germination rate and fruit quality.

2. Grafting propagation

The breeding method of sheep horn honey is generally based on grafting, which is generally carried out in January every year, and can be put on the market after about 4 months. Grafting propagation should first sow seedlings in November, first put the seeds in warm water to promote germination, and then sow and cultivate scions at the right time. Grafting is mainly used to control the angle of the incision, which should not be too small or too large, otherwise it will reduce the survival rate of grafting. Do a good job of management after grafting, and it can be planted in about a month.

3. Planting management

Before planting, it is necessary to do a good job in soil preparation, ridging, border preparation and planting, and control the planting density. When the soil temperature is stable above 14 degrees, it can be planted and the distance between plants can be controlled at about 40 centimeters. Irrigate enough water after planting, do a good job of ploughing and weeding after entering the slow seedling stage, and then cover the plastic film to make high beds.

After planting, if the soil of the melon field is moist, there is no need to water again. When the melon seedlings grow to about 10 centimeters, watering should be carried out once. Watering should be carried out on a sunny day. Watering can be carried out with topdressing, and it is best to choose potassium nitrate compound fertilizer. Generally, about 5 kg of compound fertilizer is needed per mu of melon field.

4. Field management

After the sheep horn honey is planted and survived, it is necessary to control the temperature and humidity to prevent the discomfort of temperature and humidity from affecting the growth of sheep horn honey. Then it is necessary to apply fertilizer reasonably according to the plant growth and soil conditions to provide sufficient nutrition for the growth of sheep horn honey. Because sheep's horn honey is a kind of trailing fruit, it is also necessary to do a good job of pruning to improve the permeability of the field, prevent branches from growing and reduce the amount of flowers and fruits. Finally, we should do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests.

Sheep horn honey belongs to a special variety, so there are some differences in planting, in which grafting requires special attention.
